Dystopian Giveaway Hop!

So if you’re a loyal follower like you should be, you’ll already know that my absolute favorite genre is dystopian. I am a DIEHARD dystopian fanatic. Diehard, I tell you. A couple months back I went all out and had a full-fledged dystopian fling. I not only read dystopian during those long weeks, I breathed it. So as you can guess, this is a very exciting giveaway hop for me. I’m so thrilled to be sharing the love with all my readers. And while I could go on and on about my addiction, as always, I’ll cut it short. I know you want to know what you could win, so just go ahead and take a look:

I know, right?! No book this time- cold, hard cash! Well, almost. The winner gets to pick a dystopian book of choice from those pictured below. I’ve listed a lot of popular dystopians below, but if you win and you want one that’s not on the list (MUST be dystopian literature!), then I will graciously consider your suggested prize. Any prize must be under $15 and from Amazon. Viola! Now enter, as I’m sure you’re eager to do. *grin*

Dear, this is wonderful... nearly made me hop around in circles!I did so love the Hunger Games... sorely disappointed with how she finished the third. The storyline was reeeally interesting, and then it just didn't pull together....

I love Dystopian! Some of my favorites right now are Blood Red Road/Rebel Heart, Divergent/Insurgent, and the Matched books (can't wait for Reached). Thanks so much for sharing! All the books on the list look great!

I love the Unwind series by Neal Shusterman. The creepiness and overall realism is just amazing. Not to mention the amazing characters. I also really love how there was a romance, but it was kept in the backseat, like it should. I feel like most dystopians try to put the romance first and the dystopian world is just a means to get the two characters together instead of being the focus. In Unwind, it is the opposite. The world building is amazing and the romance is a small subplot that is fun, but doesn't get overly soppy.

The only dystopian novel that I can think of that I have read so far is The Giver & it was really interesting. For Darkness Shows the Stars by, Diana Peterfreund is on my TBR list & I have been meaning to read it.

Uglies series by Scott Westerfield was probably my first introduction to the dystopian genre so it will always be my favorite (I wonder if Among the Hidden by Margret Peterson Haddix is considered dystopian because if it is, that would be my first...). Under the Never Sky, Divergent, and Delirium are close runner-ups. ^.^
